Comforting Lightning

Chapter 1: The Arrest

It was a normal day at Fairy Tail. Natsu and Gray were bickering and eventually began a brawl with the whole guild. Erza was sitting in a table eating her favorite strawberry cake but then would join the brawl after Natsu crashes into her causing her to drop her cake. Levy and Gajeel would be sitting in a issolated table in the corner of Fairy Tail talking about random things. Mira would be walking around the guild attending the bar while ducking every once in a while to avoid a table flying in her direction. Lisanna, who just returned from Edolas two months ago, is helping Mira out with the bar, attending to the people in the guild that aren't taking part of the brawl. The Master is sitting at the second floor in a table looking down at the guild and all the fun they are having.

Suddenly the guild's doors are opened and twenty rune knights step into the guild. The sudden appearance of the rune knights causes the brawl to suddenly stop and the Master jumps down to the entrance to greet the rune knights. From behind the Rune Knights, Lahar, the Head Captain of the Custody Enforcement Unit, steps forward to greet the Master.

"Good Afternoon. How can I help you?" the Master inquired. Lahar looks at the Master with eyes that immediately caused the Master to tense, realizing that something is wrong.

"By Order of the Newly Reformed Magic Council, I am here to arrest and to bring into custody miss Lisanna Strauss." Lahar replied with a hint of anger in his voice, something that he almost never had in his voice. It took a moment for the Master to recover from the shock and immediately asked, "What are the charges?" By now the rest of the guild have recovered from the shock and are looking at the Officer like he is crazy, waiting to hear what the charges are against Lisanna. Lisanna on the other hand, knowns why they are here and although in the outside she seems calm, on the inside she is freaking out, wondering how they could have found out.

"She is being charged for using a forbidden magic called Memoria Scandalum(Memory Block in Latin), which allows the user to erase something or someone from other people's memory for good. Not only that but she is also charges with assault and murder attempt to a former Fairy Tail member by the name of Lucy Heartifilia, as well as hiring a assasin guild to attempt to kill miss Heartfilia."

Natsu, who is standing protectively over Lisanna, shouts, "That's not true. Lisanna would never do that to a fellow guild member. I don't even remember anyone named Lucy." Fellow guild shouts followed agreeing with what Natsu shouted. The Master on the other hand stayed quiet. Erza noticed this and asked loud enough for everyone to hear, "Master, what's wrong? Tell them already that all that isn't true and that there never was a Lucy here." After the master didn't say anything and instead looked down to the ground Erza began to scream, "Master! Please tell me this isn't true and that this is all a big nightmare! MASTER!"

At this point Lahar decided to speak up. "Doranbolt come here." A man with short, almost shaved black hair, with a slightly outlined widow's peak, and complete with mildly long sideburns stepped forward. "This man here is Doranbolt, he knows how to use Memory Control magic so he will help you all get rid of the spell." After chanting a few words in an unknown language, everyone began to shine and after the light subsided, everyone remembered who Lucy was.

Erza was the first to speak up, "Lucy…This can't be…" Tears began to stream down her face and she turned to Lisanna and began to shout, "H-HOW COULD YOU DO THIS! LUCY WAS LIKE A LITTLE SISTER TO ME! HOW COULD YOU MAKE ME FORGET HER AND CAUSE HER TO SUFFER LIKE THAT!" By then everyone was crying and Natsu was still unable to believe what had just happened. He just walked away to the corner of the guild and said, "Luce…"

Lisanna, seeing that the spell was now broken, let her emotions overtake her and made a run for it. After three steps she realized that she was surrounded by runes preventing her from moving. Lahar handcuffed her with Magic Canceling cuffs and sent her away. Before he left, the Master spoke up and asked the question everyone was wondering, "Where is she… Is she alive… Can we go see her?"

This time it was Doranbolt that spoke, "She is in a hidden location in a hospital recovering from the many injuries she received from the assasin attack. She was lucky someone she knew found her before she died of blood loss. Regarding your last question, we already informed her about the spell and she asked us to not inform you about her location. She says that even before the spell was cast, she still felt like she was ignored and asked to relay this message." Doranbolt pulls out a note from his pocket and begins to read.

Dear Fairy Tail,

I'm writing to inform you that I know of the spell but even though it was a spell, you all still ignored me before that spell was cast and it hurt… a lot. So much that all the love I had for all of you turned into hatred. I want to let you know that I don't wish to see any of you anymore and that none of you come looking for me. I'm going to begin a new life without all of you. I will be sending the man that saved me to retrieve the things that I left at my old apartment in about a week.

Sincerely,

Lucy Heartfilia.
